Just always convert the percentage to a decimal, and it’s easy either way.
0.06x50 is as easy as 0.5x6. They’re both just 5x6.
All these comments like “What about 47% of 3.11?” Well, yeah, of course it’s harder to multiply two- and three-digit numbers than it is to multiply single-digit numbers.

Excellent argument. However, I can’t count.
